Prepare Location
1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt.
Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood
parts and hardware on it.
2. Mark centerlines of the cooktop or range on ceiling above.
3. Position the template on the ceiling using the centerlines.
4. Mark the location of the hood front (see arrow printed on
template), electrical hole and mounting holes on the ceiling.
NOTE: Make sure there is support framing at the mounting
hole locations above the ceiling to support the hood.
5. For vented installations only, install an 8" exhaust vent. Use
dimension “S” from “Hood Height Calculations” section and
subtract 16 ⁷⁄₈" (42.9 cm). This is how far the vent needs to
extend below the ceiling.
NOTE: This step is not used for non-vented (recirculating)
installations.
6. Drill a 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) hole for the ¹⁄₂" conduit at the location
marked on the ceiling from the template.
7. Run the ¹⁄₂" conduit through the hole. Run wire through the ¹⁄₂"
conduit according to the National Electrical Code or CSA
Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be
enough ¹⁄₂" conduit and wires from the fused disconnect (or
circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s
electrical terminal box.
8. Use caulk to seal all openings.
NOTE: Do not turn on power until installation is complete.
9. Drill four ⁷⁄₆₄" (2.75 mm) pilot holes at locations marked on the
ceiling for mounting hood to ceiling.
NOTE: There are two additional holes in the chimney structure
mounting surface which may be used for additional support if
desired. After mounting the chimney structure, drill pilot holes
in the empty holes.
10. Install four lag screws. Leave the screw heads ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm)
from the ceiling.
WARNING

Hood Frame Assembly
1. Slide the frame assembly down over the motor housing.
2. Lift the frame assembly to dimension “S” from “Hood Height
Calculations” section.
3. Using 16 screws provided, insert screws through brackets
and assemble brackets to motor housing.
4. Attach each cover support bracket to the chimney structure
with two screws.
